Jackson announced the move in a written statement Thursday morning. "I did not expect to have to dignify baseless and anonymous attacks", he wrote.

Asked whether Jackson will stay on, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says, "Admiral Jackson is a doctor in the United States Navy assigned to the White House and is here at work today".
